Hydrosalpinx From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A hydrosalpinx is a distally blocked fallopian tube filled with serous or clear fluid. The blocked tube may become substantially distended giving the tube a characteristic sausage-like or retort-like shape. The condition is often bilateral and the affected tubes may reach several centimeters in diameter. The blocked tubes cause infertility . A fallopian tube filled with blood is a hematosalpinx , and with pus a pyosalpinx. Hydrosalpinx is a composite of the Greek words ὕδωρ (hydro - "water") and σαλπιγξ (salpinx - ' "trumpet"); its plural is hydrosalpinges .

What is Adenomyosis? Adenomyosis is where endometriosis is found within the muscle wall of the uterus. A gynaecologist may be suspicious adenomyosis is present because of symptoms and the uterus can look and feel 'bulky'. Some women can have both adenomyosis and endometriosis. The symptoms of adenomyosis often respond well to medical treatment and an IUS (Intrauterine System) is often offered. A hysterectomy is sometimes recommended to remove the uterus but this will depend on many factors including your choice. What are Adhesions? Adhesions are bands of fibrous scar tissue which cause organs or tissue to stick together in an abnormal way eg, the ovary to the pelvic side wall. They may be congenital, or caused by endometriosis or indeed by surgery. Adhesions can cause pain and disrupt normal function. Adhesions should be removed during surgery and every precaution taken to prevent their recurrence. They often look like rubber bands and or cobwebs! Parac

What are ovaries? The ovaries are a pair of organs in the female reproductive system. They are located in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus. The uterus is the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a baby grows. Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond. The ovaries produce eggs and female hormones. Hormones are chemicals that control the way certain cells or organs function. Every month, during a woman's menstrual cycle, an egg grows inside an ovary. It grows in a tiny sac called a follicle . When an egg matures, the sac breaks open to release the egg. The egg travels through the fallopian tube to the uterus for fertilization. Then the sac dissolves. The empty sac becomes corpus luteum . Corpus luteum makes hormones that help prepare for the next egg. The ovaries are the main source of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone . These hormones affect: The way breasts and body hair grow Body shape The menstrual cycle Pregnancy What are ovarian
